Biochemistry is the science of life. We strive to answer questions like:
What is the chemical basis for health and disease?
How are all living creatures alike – and different?
Can we meet human needs by manipulating the DNA of bacteria, plants and animals?
Explore how we’re discovering fundamental answers to life's questions about ourselves and our chemical relationship with the environment.
